H1N1猪流感广东株血凝素基因的克隆与序列分析

用RT-PCR方法扩增H1N1亚型猪流感病毒广东分离株A／Swine／GuangDong／711／2001HA基因，对其进行了克隆和测序。结果显示，HA基因全长1771bp．共编码579个氨基酸。A／Swine／Guang Dong／711／2001HA基因编码的氨基酸序列中有8个糖基化位点，5个位于HAl基因的第27、28、40、104和287位点，3个位于HA2基因的21、153和213位点。与H1N1亚型猪流感经典毒株比较后发现，血凝素糖基化位点并不是高度保守的。将A／Swine／Guang Dong／711／2001与自Gen Bank读取的1918年人流感毒株A／South Carolina／1／18、1991年人流感毒株A／MD／12／91和1997年猪流感毒株A／Swine／Wisconsin／238／97等进行核苷酸同源性比较分析，A／Swine／Guang Dong／711／2001与A／SouthCarolina／1／18、A／MD／12／91和A／Swine／Wisconsin／238／97等毒株的核苷酸同源性分别为93．9％、94．7％和93．9％。从系统发生树来看，A／Swine／Guang Dong／711／2001与A／South Carolina／1／18和A／Swine／Wisconsin／238／97的亲缘关系相近。

First report of Wolbachia from field populations of Culex mosquitoes in south-western Nigeria

Recent reports on finding Wolbachia-strain infections in field mosquito species in some West African countries and the potential for developing these as disease vector biocontrol tools have prompted a search for Wolbachia in mosquitoes within the study area. Using a completely randomised design, mosquito traps were set at different locations in a rural and an urbanised community. One hundred and eighty (180) mosquitoes were trapped and pooled on the basis of genus, sex and site of collection, because there have been no earlier reports of Wolbachia isolated from Nigeria. Twenty pools, made up of not more than ten mosquitoes per pool, were homogenised and analysed for Wolbachia-specific DNA. Mosquitoes were trapped within Ede (urbanised community) and Akoda (rural community). Genomic DNA was extracted from trapped mosquito samples and used as a template in a PCR reaction. The Wolbachia sp. specific 16S rRNA gene was amplified, sequence analysis of PCR products was performed and a chromatogram of the sequence was subjected to Basic Local Alignment Search Tool analysis to identify the Wolbachia sp. This sequence was subsequently submitted to GenBank with accession number MK127541. The first evidence of the presence of the endosymbiont, Wolbachia in field-caught mosquitoes is hereby documented. The homology of this strain of Wolbachia bears similarities to those reported recently from other parts of West Africa and forms a single clade with a Wolbachia sp. from Mali, with a strong bootstrap support of 99%. This finding of a Wolbachia strain in mosquitoes at Ede could form the basis for more searches for diverse strains of Wolbachia in Nigeria.

Variation in TBX3 Gene Region in Dun Coat Color Polish Konik Horses

The Polish Konik is a primitive breed of horse, most likely descended directly from the wild extinct forest equus so-called Tarpan (Equus ferus ferus). The studbook of this breed is closed, and only individuals with blue dun in color with a well-developed black middorsal stripe and other primitive markings are entered. The aim of the presented study was the investigation of genetic background of dun phenotype in Polish Konik horses. A total of 93 Polish Koniks were investigated toward single nucleotide polymorphisms in a region of TBX3 gene by Sanger sequencing method. Obtained results confirmed that all investigated horses carry dun dilution genotype. Two new variants were identified which have not been previously described [WT/WT-G/G-A/G; WT/del-G/del-G/G]. Furthermore, our results showed in population of Polish Koniks occurrence of the rare genotype recently found in Estonian-native horses.     

H5亚型鸭源流感病毒HA基因序列生物信息学分析

A型流感病毒（AIV）引起的禽类禽流行性感冒（avian influenza,AI）或相关疾病,被国际兽疫局定为甲类传染病。AIV中最容易突变的基因是血凝素（HA）基因,具有亚型和株的特异性,是区分病毒亚型的依据之一。本研究从GenBank中下载了所有209条鸭源H5禽流感病毒HA基因的全序列,利用生物信息学软件构建进化树研究序列的聚类特点;比较不同年份毒株的HA基因的受体结合位点氨基酸,找出受体结合位点氨基酸的变异规律;比较不同年份分离的鸭源H5N1序列的HA1和HA2蛋白的剪切位点,找出各年份毒株的剪切位点的特点;比较不同年份分离序列的潜在糖基化位点,统计各年份潜在糖基化位点的数量以及序列变化。期望找到H5亚型鸭源流感病毒的变异规律和变异方向,为鸭源流感的防控起到积极的作用。
